The Glory of Noxus

Hook Prison.

The huge sunken mine pit is like a wounded beast, silently licking its wounds.

The surrounding metal buildings, once solid barriers, were broken and defeated under the attack of the Alchemist Baron Alliance.

The sound of steel echoed.

In the jagged buildings, prisoners were busy in the ruins.

Their figures looked extremely heavy under the dim light.

The prisoners tried to use broken parts and discarded metal materials to build some fortifications that could defend against attacks.

On the streets where Huo Jixing and Donniel passed by, they would see the wounded curled up from time to time.

They leaned against the cold buildings behind them, their faces were pale, and painful groans sounded.

Everyone's eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if they could foresee an inescapable fate.

Seeing Donniel coming back, the Zaun people along the way cast hopeful eyes.

Under the general trend, many prisoners and criminals wanted to join the Alchemist Baron Alliance.

But they forgot their identities.

Most of the Zauns who followed Urgot were guilty.

Even if they surrendered, they could not wash away their past guilt.

"Is the gap so big?"

Huo Jixing noticed that these prisoners and criminals huddled together helplessly, as if they had completely lost the courage to resist.

In the past, they were known for their bad character and cruel methods.

However, when facing the attack of Golask Industries and the Alchemy Baron Alliance, they were like fallen leaves swept by a storm and could not resist.

Whether it was the alchemical technology enhancement or the number of people, the Sinking Hook Prison was at an absolute disadvantage.

Even in such a desperate mine, they still had a glimmer of hope.

It was the hope for Urgot.

In their hearts, they prayed that this fearless chariot would lead them out of despair.

The central area of ​​the Sinking Hook.

The alchemical laboratory that was damaged in the previous battle has been rebuilt.

Walking into the laboratory, the strong smell of alchemical potions filled the air, mixed with the smell of rust, making people frown.

Under the dim light, Huo Jixing saw Urgot, who was covered in wounds.

He was standing in front of a complex alchemy workbench, with his right hand covered with different colored potions and alchemical substances.

The wounds on his bare upper body flashed with a deep green glow, which was the power of the alchemical substances and potions.

And his six armored steel legs, symbolizing the existence of power and majesty, had lost their power cores.

The embedded cannon was also destroyed, the muzzle was charred, and it was no longer as powerful as it once was.

The chain gun around his waist was Urgot's powerful weapon, but it was also slightly broken, and dark green marks appeared near the chain gun.

It was the burn scars left by long-term venting of firepower, telling of the terrible battle.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Urgot turned his head and met Huo Jixing's eyes.

In the past, Urgot was never afraid of death, and believed that pain and death were the secret treasures of Zaun.

But after getting the chance to return to the Noxian Empire, he wanted to return to his homeland to see the glorious land deep in his memory.

"How do you feel?"

Huo Jixing walked over, looked at Urgot's scars, and laughed softly.

Everything was caused by his killing, which triggered a chain reaction.

Hearing this, Urgot looked at his alchemical body, and a hint of powerlessness appeared in his deep eyes.

After a long time, he tried the power of the scheming again.

The forces he operated in the ditch area were too weak in front of Golask Industries and the Alchemy Baron Alliance.

Facing their attack, he could only defend the Sinking Hook Prison.

Urgot couldn't help but recall his past memories, when he accidentally exposed his identity when he first came to Zaun.

The spies of the Alchemy Baron surrounded him and dragged him into the alchemical technology mine at the bottom of Zaun.

Urgot lowered his eyes, looked at Huo Jixing, and his breathing became heavier.

If the Noxus Empire was behind him, he didn't believe that Golask Industries and the Alchemy Baron Alliance would dare to attack him.

"Haha, I'll scare them."

Urgot's attitude was still tough and unscrupulous.

Although he was seriously injured now, there was no retreat in his eyes.

He stood in front of the alchemy workbench, like an unshakable mountain, and would never retreat.

Huo Jixing heard Urgot's stubborn words, shrugged his shoulders, his eyes condensed, and a turquoise light appeared out of thin air.

Donghua Yimu Qi!

In the laboratory, a long turquoise drizzle fell, pouring on Urgot's broken body.

They jumped like green elves, slowly repairing Urgot's wounds.

Under his skin, it seemed that there was life crawling, and the damaged muscles and blood vessels grew again.

The armored giant legs were also slowly recovering their strength under the turquoise drizzle.

However, the metal devices belonging to alchemy technology were somewhat powerless.

Urgot felt his injured body healing rapidly, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Although the turquoise drizzle was gradually disappearing, he clearly felt the return of his own strength.

Such healing ability was incomparable to ordinary supernatural powers, far beyond his imagination.

After treating Urgot's wounds, Huo Jixing spoke.

"Time is running out, deal with the affairs of the Sinking Hook Prison as soon as possible, and then return to Piltover with me."

"Okay."

Urgot spoke respectfully, called Donier over, and began to deal with the affairs of the Sinking Hook Prison.

Although he was somewhat puzzled by Huo Jixing's decision, he did not rush to ask.

This time, facing Golask Industries and the Alchemy Baron Alliance, he had already seen the reality clearly.

The Sinking Hook Prison was a chaotic place after all, and he could not stay there for long.

Therefore, after Urgot decided to deal with the affairs behind the Sinking Hook, he followed Huo Jixing's order and went to Piltover, where he was imprisoned.

Doniel was Urgot's right-hand man and knew the situation inside the Sinking Hook very well.

With his help, Urgot quickly dealt with the affairs at hand.

Huo Jixing looked at the busy Urgot and Doniel, and walked out of the alchemy laboratory.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils]!

Huo Jixing rode the clouds and stood in the sky, with red-gold light filling his eyes.

I saw that many clouds rose in the trench area covered with Zaun's gray haze.

Huo Jixing swept past, and there was no magenta cloud representing Renata.

"Not in the ditch area?"

He put away the red-gold light and shook his head gently.

"It seems that I have to visit the richest man in Zaun."

As the decision-maker behind Golask Industries, Renata is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

Her wisdom and means almost make Zaun the current one.

However, the problem of the Sinking Hook Prison is not very troublesome for Huo Jixing, and there are many ways to solve it.

But under the current urgent time and situation, Huo Jixing decisively chose the simplest way.

Zaun, middle square.

In the alchemy workshop area of ​​Golask Industries, a towering castle stands like a steel giant.

After the previous attack by the Eye of Zaun, the area near the castle is heavily guarded.

At every intersection, there are special people to check and identify the people entering and leaving.

Inside the castle, the laboratory.

Renata is standing in front of a huge glass cover.

Her eyes are focused and deep, staring at every detail of the biochemical poisonous fog rolling inside the glass cover.

Until the poisonous fog stopped, a satisfied look appeared on her face, which was an affirmation of her careful preparation of the poisonous fog.

Then she turned her head to look at the decanter suspended beside her, and moved her fingers lightly.

The decanter received the command, immediately made a trembling sound, and began to move slowly.

Its movements were precise and elegant, perfectly embedded in the valve port on the glass cover.

And this seemingly simple process actually requires extremely high precision and skills.

Buzz! Buzz!

After the decanter was embedded in the valve port, the magenta poisonous fog in the glass cover surged.

With the emergence of huge suction, the poisonous fog slowly poured into the decanter, turning into a solid liquid and bubbling.

This decanter is undoubtedly the crystallization of Renata's alchemical skills.

It perfectly completed the extraction and transformation of the poisonous fog.

Click!

The decanter seemed to be full, and automatically left the glass cover and returned to Renata's side.

Looking at the weapon in front of her, Renata stroked it gently, with a burning look in her eyes.

This decanter she made by herself will bring unprecedented power to Golask Industries.

Then, Renata left her laboratory.

She still had one thing to deal with.

Click! Click!

The sound of metal mechanism rang out.

Renata's fingers formed the only key, inserted it into the customized keyhole, and opened the heavy door.

"Mei Wu!"

As soon as she walked out of the laboratory, Renata saw her butler.

"Mrs. Golask."

Mei Wu bowed her head respectfully and bowed to speak.

"The battle in the Shen Hook Prison has reached the final stage. Should we completely clean up those desperate people and criminals?"

"Urgot!"

Renata thought of the big guy in the Shen Hook Prison, and her eyes condensed.

In the previous battles, he caused a lot of casualties to Golask Industries.

"Is the news I want confirmed?"

Mei Wu was silent for a while, looked at Renata in front of him, and said with a slightly hesitant tone.

"It can be confirmed that Urgot was once the executioner of the Noxian Empire and was secretly sent to Zaun."

"But we can't get any useful information about whether he is still in contact with the Noxian Empire."

The Noxian Empire is a behemoth entrenched in the north of Zaun.

It has always brought great pressure to the surrounding countries and forces.

Although it did not directly invade Zaun and Piltover.

But the small countries and forces that disappeared one after another nearby were all victims of the iron hoof of the Noxian Empire.

It has long silently told the powerful military strength and expansion ambitions of the Noxian Empire.

At the same time, it also made the people of Zaun and Piltover feel unprecedented pressure.

The most important thing is that the prosperity of Zaun and Piltover is inseparable from the Noxian Empire.

Every victory of the Noxian Empire in a war not only brings glory and wealth to the Noxian Empire, but also brings huge trade to Piltover, which controls the east-west waterway.

These trade activities not only promote the economic prosperity of Piltover, but also bring indirect benefits to Zaun.

Renata looked at the glass mirror in the room, and her face was reflected on the neat and smooth mirror surface.

Although according to her intelligence information, the Noxian Empire suffered a defeat in the Ionian battlefield and completely withdrew its military strength.

But the strength it showed in the past was too terrifying, far beyond the reach of Piltover and Zaun.

This is also the reason why she has not yet killed Urgot.

"Is there any news from Piltover?"

Renata's eyes flickered as she asked.

She thought of the Piltover councillors who had been working with her, and they had been keeping a close eye on the situation in Zaun.

Mei Wu shook her head slightly and replied helplessly: "Not yet."

She knew that this was not the answer Renata wanted to hear, but it was the fact.

Piltover seemed to be cautious about the current situation, and was also secretly investigating something.

"Humph!"

Renata snorted, looking unhappy.

It was obvious that these Piltover councillors wanted her to test Urgot's situation.

They wanted to know the current situation in Zaun, but they didn't want to get involved directly.

You know, in the previous Zaun riot, Urgot killed the representative of the Piltover Chamber of Commerce family.

The final result was that Urgot was tied up with iron chains and dragged into the iron-clad Piltover cage.

"You go down first."

Renata's eyes flickered, and she signaled Mei Wu to leave.

When Mei Wu disappeared from her sight, she looked at the window sill and spoke in a serious tone.

"Come out."

Renata's face was calm, but she tapped her metal fingers gently, telling of her inner uneasiness.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The fog disappeared.

Huo Jixing clapped his hands and walked down from the sky step by step.

"As expected of Renata!"

He ignored the alchemical instruments that were making a noisy sound around him and walked in front of Renata.

Unlike all the Zaun people Huo Jixing had seen.

Renata gave people the feeling of being an elite in Piltover.

Whether it was the white suit that was out of place in the dirty Zaun, or the many exquisite enhancements she carried.

It was rumored that every item of Renata was tailor-made, elegant, and expensive.

Including the things she used to kill people.

Seeing Huo Jixing suddenly appear, Renata looked terrified.

The decanter suspended beside her glowed magenta, and the liquid inside fluctuated.

"Who are you?"

Renata stared at the handsome young man in front of her, and her thoughts were floating in her heart.

Although the target had no extraordinary aura, she could confirm that the other party was a powerful extraordinary person.

If the target had not just exposed his aura, she would not have noticed his existence.

"Huo Jixing, the consultant of the Midalda family."

Huo Jixing spoke softly, and seeing Renata's expression change, the corners of his mouth rose.

"Also a high-ranking officer of the Noxus Empire."

Originally, when Renata heard about the Midalda family, her expression seemed a little indifferent.

She knew the strength of the Midalda family very well. As the top dignitaries in Piltover, its influence was undoubtedly huge.

But this is the core area of ​​​​Gorsk Industries, her castle, and her territory.

Until she heard about the Noxus Empire, Renata's expression condensed and her eyes looked at Huo Jixing steadily.

"Are you here for Urgot?"

"Yes."

Huo Jixing nodded. It was easy to chat with smart people. Renata quickly guessed the purpose of his visit.
